🐹 A Skoltech scientist have raised the world’s only isotope-labeled guinea pig. The research results were published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. This approach can be useful for studying human metabolism, including the development of personalized medicine methods. For 156 days, the guinea pig named Khryun, who belongs to Associate Professor Yury Kostyukevich from Skoltech’s Biomed Technologies Center, was given only heavy water to drink. Deuterium — the natural isotope of ...

⚡️ UNESCO-Kalinga Prize and Tate Medal laureate to give a lecture at Skoltech! Since the dawn of quantum mechanics, thousands of calculations have been performed, theories have been developed, and research has been carried out—all of which have deepened our understanding of energy and how it accompanies us (even when we do not see it). On March 27, Professor Ana María Cetto will discuss the future of quantum science. A theoretical physicist and professor at the National Autonomous University of ...

🌾 Durum wheat, the global foundation for pasta production, is highly vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Scientists from Skoltech and their international partners have proposed a solution — new durum wheat lines capable of surviving short-term freezing events while maintaining the grain quality required for premium pasta production. The study is published in Frontiers in Plant Science. With growing climate instability, the risk of freezing damage to durum wheat is increasing. Breeders must pre...
